Meet the Staff

Welcome to the new Pints Templars Blog! In the new blog you can expect to find more posts about Craft Beer, Craft Breweries, Homebrewing, Beer Culture, Beer Gear, Reviews and all new content being posted everyday!

Also History and Beer posts are coming back! Many of our readers have asked for more of these, so we listened and we will have History based posts coming ASAP!

RYAN HIERONYMUS

ABOUT RYAN - Ryan is a 40 Year Homebrewer and craft beer enthusiast. Was moments away from being the Head Brewer for a brewery in Florida, bit the seasoned Brewer who was consulting ended his tenure with his current employer and was a better option for the owner. We were expecting our son around the time they wanted to launch the brewery and we were looking to move closer to family and so we are back in Illinois were I grew up. As a Homebrewer I've collected a few medals for State and National Comps. I am always seeking to try beers and innovative styles/tastes. I also enjoy a good beer and conversation about it's history, creation and the future.
